This is really easy to fix. Simply set up a catchall for the virtual domain 
that pipes it to /dev/null.

This will throw away all email to nonexistant users.

Looking for a linux guy for a quick mod to our mail server.

Server is running vpopmail and qmail under the qmailrocks setup.

I just want it to stop sending bounce messages back to spammers who send mail 
to nonexistent addresses in my domains from faked addresses.

The bounces go to people who had nothing to do with the spam and tend to annoy 
them...  

I'd be happy if it just silently dropped all messages to bad addresses...  or 
maybe just held the spammers connection open for a bit and then dropped it..... 
 To slow up the spammer

I've used my MT to block too many simultaneous SMTP connections to any one IP 
address at one time.

This has made a major drop in incoming spam, and reduced outgoing as well.  But 
the lists time out after a while and then the spam starts again.
